For the Gamersgate Torchlight 2 4-pack, I'd be willing to be the buyer. I'd just like to know that there's 3 other people ready to purchase before I commit. Payment would have to be via PayPal (that's how I'd be paying and I'd like it to go back to there.) I'm from the US and would be buying on the US site. I've never gifted pieces of a 4-pack via Gamersgate, but I have via Steam. I'd hope that it's equally easy.

I'd be in - the only thing which mildly worries me is that there's a difference between US and EU keys for Torchlight 2 and that the keys won't work when bought from one and used in another.

That said - I can't see the download/key from Gamersgate being affected by that so worst case is it won't activate on Steam - and I reckon that's a long shot.

So put me down for 1 - happy to pay by PayPal - see if we can get another 2 mugs SORRY punters in eh? :)

All of Vic Davis's games (Armageddon Empires, Solium Infernum, Six Gun Saga) are 50% off if you use the code OCCULT at checkout. For reference, these are those games you wanted to buy but didn't because they were too expensive.

If you're that worried about that, why not just buy the 4-pack on Steam then? Costs the same, doesn't it?

I simultaneously suggest that you don't want 2 of the titles and you need the third. The latter being Solium Infernum of course.

Elegant in its game flow, complemented by its lore and genuinely the only strategy game in years to try and solve the attrition problem (also: age of empires riegicide and sacrifice) sure it has flaws but it's notable that an indie studio has managed what no AAA has and generate a player vs player diplomacy which works.

Edit: Re. Outcast, I have it but have really only played the tutorial, so I can't offer much of an opinion. The graphics are nice, the movement maybe a little clunky. It's one of those games I end up saving for a night of uninterrupted gaming, for some reason, and I don't get many of those. I'm looking at Darklands and Master of Magic from the GOG sale, although I haven't made up my mind yet.

I picked up the second and third Rollercoaster Tycoon games since I had some trouble getting their disc versions working on Windows 7. They seem to work just fine now and are still great games. Look on the forums for a 'hack' that opens up windowed mode for RCT2.

Perhaps others can highlight some of the other games that might be worth picking up as well.

I actually agree that people shouldn't buy Armageddon Empires, since it will undoubtedly prove too much of a timesink, eating into what is, for many, an already hectic late-year gaming schedule. Blinding players to new releases with the white light of its brilliance. Avoid at all costs.

On a more serious note, everything (except new stuff and preorders) in the Rise of Flight store is 50% off.

Armageddon Empires and Six Gun Saga are both brilliant. Solium Infernum is completely useless unless you happen to have a regular gaming group (that enjoys this type of game) to play it with, as the AI can't play the game at all.

Some nice deals here, and it's good to see a flat 60% off for a change.

Master of Orion 1+2 and Master of Magic are top quality strategy games, though I'm sure everyone knows this by now. Master of Orion 2 is probably the best out of the three as it's more in depth than the others, but Master of Magic is definitely far more unique and may be more interesting to play.

Darklands is a good open world sandbox RPG, with a text-based interface for all non-combat interactions. Combat is real-time with pause before it became famous, but with a lack of spell casting due to being historical fantasy (set in medieval Germany).

Colonization is a classic, being somewhere between the first two Civilization games but with a greater focus on resource gathering and manufacturing rather than diplomacy and conquest.

Alone in the Dark 1+2+3 for $2.39 is a pretty good deal if you can handle the terribly dated polygonal graphics and suddenly changing camera angles. They tend to be classed as "survival horror", but to me they are just horror themed action adventure games.

Star Control 1+2 is also a good deal for the second game alone. It may not be the most hardcore of games but it's still quite fun meeting all the different alien races and exploring space.
